DESCRIPTION:
He tells of turf wars inside the Justice Department and of deals cut between judges and attorneys, revealing an underside of law enforcement seldom seen by the public.. During his 13 years as a federal prosecutor, Thomas Puccio unraveled the French Connection theft, prosecuted the first FBI agent ever convicted of corruption, and masterminded the Abscam investigation
L. P. F. Lafferty said A bloody good lawyer. Really rate this book. Masterful account of the real battles of criminal trials and the intrigue of working for the Government. Puccio is a lawyer but he infects that legal detail with how his heart felt in his battles.This is not some arid tale of the law whcich you would get from a commercial lawyer but what real lawyers are ma. Semmelweis said Interesting Story of Real Life Law. Written some time ago by the prosecutor of Abscam and the briefly featured in the current movie "American Hustle", this story is well told and compelling. It offers an insight into how the law works on a gritty and unvarnished level. As he was both a prosecutor and defense lawyer, it is very balanced. At times distressing and dis. terrific book for criminal lawyers cortez i bought this book after i saw thomas puccio's obituary in the new york times. puccio talks about his career as a prosecutor and criminal defense attorney. the book is written well and puccio comes across as a pretty down to earth person.
